Stanford OLB James Vaughters put up great testing numbers at the school's pro day, but "was not nearly as impressive in position drills, looking stiff and unsure of himself," reported TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline.

Vaughters hoisted up a spectacular 35 reps on the bench, touched 32.5 inches in the vertical jump and clocked in the mid-4.8-second range in the 40. That was all good and well, but Vaughters struggled when he took the field. We're a bit surprised by the dichotomy, as Vaughters doesn't always look athletic during games, accruing production more from hustle and sheer strength. Vaughters was not invited to the NFL combine.

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler believes he's "limited athletically" but "strong at the point of attack." Vaughters plays "with nonstop hustle."

On Saturday, Vaughters has an interesting matchup against Rotoworld favorite Notre Dame LT Ronnie Stanley, whom Brugler writes "has been fantastic in his first season starting on the left side." The 6-foot-2, 254-pound Vaughters led Stanford Cardinals with nine tackles, two tackles for loss and a half sack versus the Washington Huskies last week.
